Storm Praying

Source of wind and breath,

hold back the former;

gift those in its path

a steady cadence of the latter.

Keeper of the living and dead,

hold those who hover in-between;

guide those who dig and pray.

Inspiration of vision and hope,

fill those who wait in angst

with peace surpassing understanding.

 Shaper of order out of chaos,

speak your genesis words of recreation

into the pain of aftermath.
